Welcome! Remember the first 2 races are practices so you can still rebuild your final lineup before the 3rd race.

The Model M is not for the faint of heart. You either like them or hate them.

I'm so glad the season wiped after the first couple races. Being able to go from last to second is pretty cool. I feel like I've pretty much got the hang of balancing drivers, I just wish I could find a way to get rid of Marussia. Also I'm completely clueless when it comes to deciding when to actually use my bonuses. I suppose I'm just going to have to get lucky there.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm quite happy with my season, ending up 37th overall (32nd without bonuses) and the winner in our league by almost 300 points with bonuses and almost 400 points without.

We'll do this again next year.

If anything, my choices were based on the good buzz Lotus was getting in pre-season testing and the "practice races". This thing isn't won with the acknowledged stars, as they're too expensive for the budget. It's won by figuring out what low-dollar (by F1FRL rules) team/drivers will overachieve. I got lucky in picking Lotus and its drivers. They won't come as cheaply next year.

EDIT: My season

EDIT 2: Just to show the variabilty of the bonus choices. If I'd moved the double-point race from Spa to Hungary, I'd have been 16th overall.

I too did not have time to change my setup over the season. I thought I would have been at the bottom but it turned out ok, since Lewis turned his season around soon enough. Should have put more Lotus mid season once I realized that the whole team was overachieving, but I wanted to spread out my risk.
